Return to Blogging

Last night, I was lying in bed, wide awake per usual as of late, thinking about outlets. I began this blog back in July in order to document my internship experience at The Children's Theatre Company in Minneapolis, but what ended up happening was a whole lot of soul searching that I was not prepared for, and I projected all that onto the blog, which in retrospect, was a pretty healthy way of coping with the chaos of growing up and having to make really difficult decisions.

For my twenty-first birthday, which is tomorrow (woah), my big sister got me this book, chock full of advice on how to survive your twenties. Twenties. That decade has become such a grab-bag of connotations, and now I belong to the hodge-podge. Honestly, I have no idea where I'd like to be six years from now, nor can I predict the future, as much as I have tried (believe me, I've tried).

But one thing I think is that I have enjoyed blogging and would like to continue doing so. Why?1. Because I enjoy writing2. Because I like taking and editing pictures3. Because I love to observe life's details and expand their worth in my head4. Because it keeps me sane5. Because I love over-sharing. Don't you?

I also think it's wise not to invest in vague ideas of where we want our lives to go, because all we can control is what's in front of us. After all, we're not the strategists; we're merely the chess pieces.

Somebody's been reading a bit too much Tolstoy.
